We were able to restock over 9 mm, but the second half of the mm has been a bit elusive. We took the best we could get on loose grade size and were able to make some freshadama up to 9.5 mm (

It has not been a problem getting large-size pearls lately. They have been available in fine quality larger than 12 mm. But the gem-grade loose-pearl stock has just not been up to par for some time.
